Is this true the more knowledge you gain more your intelligence increases?

As far as I have studied this knowledge and intelligence are two separate and independent things. You are born with no knowledge however you already have intelligence. What you ask is opposite to how it works - you use intelligence to gain knowledge thus the more intelligence you have the more knowledge you are capable of gaining.





Think about a simple example. If you take an IQ test and it involves questions like ';how much is 123*8?'; or ';what is the capital of Australia?'; or alike then the test is false. It does not test your IQ but instead it tests your knowledge. Even if you know so very much about many things in the world and you remember them well it does not tell anything about your IQ.





Or think about this - you are born in a cave and have not been outside for thirty years. You never learned to communicate, never learned to read, write, count or anything alike. This does not mean that if you came out of the cave and acquired tons of knowledge your IQ increases. Well, it may increase slightly if you learn things requiring intense thinking but these are special sciences. In a different case you may have been spending your time in the cave trying to come up with some smart things, inventions and alike. This process would increase your IQ and when you come out of the cave you have IQ but no knowledge. Yet again meaning they are independent.





All in all, you can just imagine IQ as the processor of a computer and knowledge as the memory or the hard drive. Increasing your hard drive space or adding extra RAM would still not allow your processor to calculate numbers in hexadecimal format or something like that, it will still stay the same machine with 1s and 0s in the calculations.Is this true the more knowledge you gain more your intelligence increases?
well yes; you know more things so your more inteligent about things because you know about them if you understand lol.Is this true the more knowledge you gain more your intelligence increases?
The more you know, the more you have to show.
I think it is


But I want to know too


somebody answer this!!!!!!
No, intelligence and knowledge are two different things. To be intelligent is to be capable of learning. Knowledge is the information that one acquires. Someone could know everything is still not be intelligent, same goes the other way around - someone intelligent could be very lazy and never acquire any knowledge. So, to answer your question, MAYBE if you try to acquire more knowledge you can become more intelligent, but I doubt you can change how quickly/efficiently your brain functions.
